Chapter 0600 Yi Shijun's Conditions

Lord Yishi would rather fall into the hands of an unfamiliar Taoist priest than be controlled by Mu Xingqiu again. There is a reason for this. Mu Xingqiu had no way of guessing and could only tell Shen Shang the cause and effect, and how to deal with Yishi. Get in touch.

"The famous Lord Yishi is actually being imprisoned here?" Shen Shang was really surprised. "There are demon tribes who believe in the Ancient God Religion in the most remote places in the country of Sheshen. They all regard Lord Yishi as their leader."

Lord Yishi has many faces, but Mu Xingqiu has never seen the "leader" side so far.

"Do you want to think about Yi Shijun's name? This is easy." Shen Shang closed his eyes and thought according to the method described by Mu Xingqiu. After a while, he opened his eyes again and smiled sheepishly, "I haven't practiced for too long. Even the simplest techniques have been forgotten. Are you sure that it is me that Mr. Ishi is looking for and not you? Why don't you take the crystal eye?"

"No, it has to be you. Mr. Yishi has chosen you. He won't speak in my hands." Mu Xingqiu knew that all Mr. Yishi's actions had a purpose, unless Zuo Liuying was in the divine state. Otherwise, it would be impossible to force this old demon to change his mind.

Shen Shang once again tried to ponder, and this time he succeeded, but he did not hold on for too long. He laughed twice, as if he found this matter both ridiculous and magical, "If this happened in the past, I would throw away my eyeballs immediately. , Taoist priests never let anything get into their heads easily.”

Ordinary Taoist priests are like this, but Mu Xingqiu always has his mind open and is unable to protect himself. When he had just joined Pangshan Company and started the most basic training, all his memories were taken away by high-ranking Taoist priests. After that, he was invaded one after another, and even A life and death battle was fought in the mind.

"What did he say?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

"He wants to talk to me in private, haha. A voice that only speaks in his head actually wants to talk to me in private. It's really... I'll go into the hole and come out later."

Mu Xingqiu nodded, having nothing to do. Just as the Fu Lu guests lit a bonfire, he also walked over and sat with everyone.

There are a total of twenty-four talisman masters, ranging in age from eighteen or nineteen to forty years old. They all have weather-beaten faces - blush that will never fade and chapped skin, indicating that they come from a windy area. .

As night fell, the air of decadence that enveloped Ice City and Wolf Plains weakened a bit. Fires were lit everywhere. The children of the demon tribe stopped crying after eating the little pitiful food left. , chasing each other and laughing happily, the sound came from far away, showing a little sign of life.

Curses have less of an impact on children.

"I don't know everyone's names yet." Mu Xingqiu spoke first.

The talisman guests reported their names one by one. Fortunately, there were no three demon clan surnames such as Qi, Fei, and Hao. They were all common surnames and names like Li Er and Zhang San. Mu Xingqiu felt more cordial. , and suddenly thought of the residents of Yelin Town.

The talisman guests were still depressed, but they were very polite and answered all questions. However, they knew too little. It was their first time traveling far away. When they saw the majestic and rough beast monsters, they were as shocked and frightened as humans. There is no reason for the frustration in my heart.

"What's the point? There's ice and snow everywhere when I walk around. It's better to just stay here." The Fu Lu guests even lost their homesickness for their hometown.

Since Mu Xingqiu knew that this was the result of the curse, he did not continue to ask questions or comfort him.

An hour later, before Jin Cu came back, Shen Shang walked out of the cave and sat beside Mu Xingqiu exhausted, "I shouldn't have left Sanshui Ridge. It's better to wait there and let Pang Shan Someone is going to kill me."

Shen Shang was more cheerful than before, but he still had not survived the collapse. His first reaction when encountering major events was to feel sorry for himself. After sitting in silence for a while, he said, "Yi Shijun doesn't want to fall into your hands, because you may You won’t listen to him patiently, and you may throw your crystal eyes everywhere.”

Mu Xingqiu did throw it once, so he laughed, "But he still has something to say to me."

"Yeah." Shen Shang became as frustrated as Fu Luke. He spoke more out of politeness than what he really wanted to express. He also didn't invite Mu Xingqiu into the cave, because it was the same everywhere. Neither the guest nor the demons in the distance have any interest in eavesdropping on the conversation. Even if the sound reaches their ears, it will fly out from the other ear.

"This is called the Star Shifting Formation. Bingkui started setting it up five years ago and has only accelerated it in recent months. Mr. Yishi has known about it for a long time, but he did not stop it. Instead, he prepared ambushes at several key locations in advance and lurked Dragon Fire is one of them."

Mu Xingqiu suddenly understood. No wonder Yi Shijun could let Qi Yemang ignite the Hidden Dragon Fire easily. It turned out that he had been prepared for it, but the target was not a Taoist priest, but Bing Kui.

"Mr. Yishi asked Flea to take you to observe the Star Shifting Formation just to prove that what he said is true."

"I trust him, then what? Is my trust that important?"

"Mr. Yishi hopes that you can take Qi Wushang's place." Shen Shang looked at Mu Xingqiu sympathetically. Just knowing these things made him feel terrible and heavy. He could not imagine what the state of the person who would be responsible would be.

Mu Xingqiu sneered, "Don't he know he's late?"

"Listen to me... no, listen to him slowly." Shen Shang sighed longly, "That's it, Mr. Yishi doesn't like Taoism, but he doesn't like demons even more. He understands the history of 130,000 years ago and knows How will the demons treat him, so he hopes to create a new force that is between the Tao and demons, not controlled by both sides, not participating in the war between the two sides, and staying alone. "

"Sounds good. Isn't that why he spread the Ancient God Religion?"

"Why doesn't he come forward?"

"He said that as a force, if there is something public, there must be something hidden. Only in this way can it be considered complete and be feared by the enemy. He is a hidden force, and what is lacking is a leader who can be made public. He said to reassure you, you are not a puppet. You can do whatever you want.”

Mu Xingqiu thought of Qi Wushang. He didn't do whatever he wanted for too long and was killed in a few years.

"I refuse. No matter what conditions he offers, I will refuse." Mu Xingqiu replied simply.

In the past, even if Mu Xingqiu didn't accept it, he would consider it, but now he doesn't want to accept it at all. He knows very well what the so-called "do whatever you want" means. Qi Wushang can make tens of thousands of demon soldiers with a wave of his hand. Go to battle and die, but still cannot escape your own destruction. There is no real person in this world who can do whatever they want. The two most powerful forces, the demons have been deprived of their bodies and locked in the void for hundreds of thousands of years. The Taoists have lived a good life for a while, but they are always worried. The powerful enemy has not yet appeared. Take the initiative to retire.

It would be difficult for another person to understand Mu Xingqiu's choice, but Shen Shang, who was suffering from collapse, smiled and said, "You have really undergone earth-shaking changes."

After a while, Shen Shang continued: "Mr. Yishi didn't force it. He just made a suggestion. If you refuse, forget it. But he still has a few things to say to you."

"I'm listening."

"Your demon-transformation reaction will not end and will torture you until you die. Because you voluntarily took it in the first place, the demon-transformation has penetrated deep into your bones. Of course, Ishi-kun has a way to solve it, but you may not be willing to do so."

"Is he going to put forward any conditions again?"

"There are no conditions, but you have to learn a few magic arts, and you are a Taoist priest..."

"I have no objection." Mu Xingqiu didn't think he was still a Taoist priest, and he had already used sorcery once and didn't care if he learned a few more.

"That's good, 'One hundred and twenty-four souls, two hundred and sixty-one years', Mr. Yishi said that the magic is there. Do you understand what this means?" Shen Shang was confused.

Mu Xingqiu understood that Lord Yishi was the demon of souls, and his words were telling Mu Xingqiu the location of his memory, saving him the pain of searching.

"Thank him for me."

"Haha, he can hear your voice. This reminds me of Zuo Liuying. Does he still let others deliver messages for him? By the way, he has spit out the inner elixir and turned into an inhaling Taoist priest. It's really unimaginable, but Thinking about it carefully, only Zuo Liuying dared to do such a thing. I was a little afraid of him before, but now I am even more afraid..."

Shen Shang sighed with emotion for a while, and was about to continue talking when Jin Cu came back, much weaker than when he left. He was also affected by the curse, but he had not yet completely succumbed.

"Tomorrow morning, more than a hundred demon clan leaders will gather together to discuss matters. I think I can convince them to leave here." Jin Cu stared at Mu Xingqiu as if he had just won a battle.

"Very good, I would like to see you succeed." Mu Xingqiu said.

Jin Cuo sat beside the fire, the proud expression on his face slowly disappeared, staring blankly at the flames, his body trembling slightly, obviously not sure about the party tomorrow morning.

"It's great to be young. The resistance to curses is much stronger." Shen Shang smiled and shook his head, turning to Mu Xingqiu, "For the next matter, Mr. Yishi will put forward conditions."

"Um."

"Yelin Town." Shen Shang stopped to observe Mu Xingqiu's reaction, and continued after a while: "Mr. Yishi knows very little about the affairs of Yelin Town, because it is not a big deal, but he has There is a very useful clue.”

"What clue?"

"Yelin Town is not the first human village to be invaded by demons, nor is it the first place where residents disappear inexplicably."

"I know this." Taoist books have recorded these things, and Mu Xingqiu had already heard about them from Fangfang.

"Ishi-kun has a precious memory that can tell you what happened to the villagers after a village was invaded by a demon species."

The whereabouts of the residents of Yelin Town are likely to be the same as those of the villagers. This is indeed an important clue. Mu Xingqiu was silent for a while before asking: "What are his conditions?"

"The condition is that you have to protect this land, defeat Bingkui's attack, and not let the Star Shifting Formation take shape." Shen Shang patted his forehead and just relayed it. He also felt heavy pressure.
